Nurgle Daemon Prince conversion - now with paint!

It’s probably the most sculpting I’ve done on a miniature in years, and I’m not sure I’ve done it justice with the paint.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not wailing and gnashing my teeth here, or fishing for compliments, it’s a solid paint job. but the feeling…

I’m happy with the result. let me say that. But it’s the first Nurgley thing I’ve ever painted, and it probably shouldn't have been. I was really feeling my way through this, learning how to paint this style of creature.

And I shouldn't really have set out to learn on something this much of a centrepiece.

Again I must stress, not that I think this is terrible, but that I think maybe had I had more confidence with the nurgle style I could have done better.

Ah well here some more pics, he’s off to his owner today (that's one reason for fewer posts last week, I didn't want to put up WiPs of this) and if there are any major changes needed to fit him into that army, I’ll make em :)

It looks great. The paint job is fine! I know how it is, you finish something, it looks good, and you're always thinking how to go back and improve it - don't! This is a great conversion, much more dynamic than the stock Nurgle Prince.

My only criticism is that the base does not look like it goes with the model. The colors are a blue grey and bright green that are barely hinted at in the rest of the paint job. It's not tied together, and it's not really contrasting very well either. It's just like there are two different things stacked atop one another. Maybe muddy up the green some, to be closer to the eyes, and make the rocks a more earthy stone color?
